Batman pretty much kills in all the other Arkham games, they just never address it. Have you seen the stuff he does? He's straight up breaking dude's collar bones and then leaving them unattended for extended periods of time because nobody can get to where everything is going down.

Maybe they're using rest-of-world dates because they're British company and it's coming out on the 6th of February
It's a different Batman, this one kills people, the one from the comics doesn't. There's no other way to explain the massacre.

This actually confused a lot of people with their initial release date reveal. They did 02.06.15 in one of their trailers and even used that for their FB post. Fooled me.Maybe they're using rest-of-world dates because they're British company and it's coming out on the 6th of February

Damn that looks great, combat system looks nicely improved. That's a long delay though...

So, I never play any previous Batman games. There are 2 of them, right?
Should I play those first before this one?

In that case, when it said "to be continued on 12.01.14" after the trailer, they must have meant that we should travel back in time to watch the next trailer.
I still need to finish Origin.

I see. Should I play them in order of their release (Asylum > City > Origins) or they're not related at all?
Also, I'm not a fan of old game (Asylum), can I skip it?
i thought i read somewhere that (yes theres technically 3) that origins isnt canon with arkham asylum or arkham city... and arkham knight IS. i could be wrong though iono.
nvm im totally wrong:

Play by order of release, because of gameplay mechanic changes n such. They're all related.
Also, Asylum is essential.

I mean apart from a 30 fps lock and no HBAO+ and PhysX and perhaps a bit lower res shadows and overall lower res the console version should be pretty much similar to this if you're not a hardcore graphics enthusiast like me.

That guy whose head he shoves into a transformer..?
Yeah. Pretty sure he's dead.

Ohhh you have missed quite a bit. Start with the first one, then move to the second and third.
My mind is still trying to come to grips with the fact that was actual game play footage.
I mean.... I...How.....Why...
How in the hell does a game look so good? There is no way that's the PS4 version. That has to be the PC version with DS4 button inputs. Just no way. It's even hard for me to understand how any PC could run a game like that.
Christ Almighty. Rocksteady must have a time machine or stumbled upon alien technology.

Indeed. After watching several gameplay from the previous games, I'm thinking how did I missed this series from my radar.
I think I was busy with my mmos when this game hits, and I didn't really care about non RPGs back then.

I would recommend playing them in order of release but if you're not digging Assylum, skip to City.
The plot of these games is usually weak at best so it's not such a great concern.
This!!

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
If someone didn't care for Asylum, would it be worth checking out City or Orgins still? I just kinda got bored of it pretty early on.

Being reminded of this game nicely compliments the disappointment of AK being delayed
Perhaps. In a way, it more of the same, but every facet of gameplay has been improved greatly in Arkham City and Origins (particularly City).

What bored you about it?
It gives you a lot of the toys faster in City and Origins and you have a larger area to explore (open world) rather than a linear interior environment. Combat is more varied and tighter City onwards.
I'm sure the game will be great fun, but I didn't care much for the trailer. The camera was so wildly animated it was hard to make out what was going on, I'm also a little disappointed to see their human models and facial animation are not quite as good as they should be. Still excited though!

Perhaps I should just learn Asylum plot by watching on youtube or reading some wikis.
Thanks.

Rocksteady can cook this in the oven all they want, I know it'll be worth the wait. Don't bother rushing shit!!!
Finally someone who agrees with what I've been saying. Conroy sounds like he is phoning it in. Roger Craig Smith is the best Batman (Arkham Origins), so much passion and depth in that Batman.

Game looks great. This was easily my most anticipated game this year before it got delayed. It's gonna be a long wait till June. Although I think it's a little unfair if this is the PC version using the DS4 button prompts. It's setting up some high expectations for how the game will look on console at release.
If they can get the game at this performance at retail on the PS4 I would be ecstatic. Rocksteady must feel confident this is how the game will look/run at release. I really, really hope it looks/runs like this in the end.

Did you miss that Assassin's Creed Unity "graphical leap" thread?

Unity looks great and that's a team of more than a 1000 people. Games just look amazing nowadays, like Vanishing of Ethan Carter is made by 8 people.
(my normal pics, not downsampled or any changes)
No, the demo they saw before E3. Pre-alpha, untextured assets, glitches galore, framerate drops.
Visually impressive according to them.

Hmm
Is that Scarecrow talking to the Arkham Knight in the trailer?
He tells the Arkham Knight he will get his VENGEANCE, so Arkham Knight must be someone Batman already knows perhaps?
Thought this Arkham Knight was supposed to be the new dude on the scene created by Rocksteady.
Or if "new and created" meant they would take an existing character in the Batman universe and disguise him as something new.
Either way, day one.

I think it's Talia Al Ghul in an exoskeleton. Come at me bros.
Ha, I would love for the Arkham Knight to be a nice twist, instead of what we are all speculating here.

I love Pokken!
You missed Ocelot.

I sure do hope she returns.
You know, the Red Hood could be The Arkham Knight. Double identity or something. And Troy Baker voicing Jason Todd would fit, I think.
Ugh, I still can't believe this is a Gamestop exclusive. Would have loved to play it.
